"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

A phrase that works well for me.

When I'm talking to a girl, and she says something stupid, I say "your lucky your cute". this implies shes dull, but shes still flattered. Works well for me.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Tom Leykis calls that a back handed compliment. Its a compliment and slap in the face at the same time. Beautiful

Another example.

Her: "Do these jeans make me look fat?"

You: "I, think you look great."

Emphasis on the "I".

That way you are essentially saying "Yes, you are fat and you are lucky to be with a guy like me." :)

Me: "No its all that chocolate and candy you eat that makes you look fat"

That should get a good reaction :eek:

I was just thinking, if you put her hand on ur palm, and said "your lucky your cute", it would work better.
